Who’s entitled to work with a Manpower contract?

What is the process to obtain a valid Work Permit?
The process can change following the Canton you live in.

At the moment I have a Student Permit (B), does this allow me to work for a temporary assignment through Manpower?
Since we are a temporary placement agency, even if you have a Student Permit (B), you will need to request an authorisation to obtain a work permit.
If you should have a non UE27-AELE citizenship, unfortunately this won’t be possible.
